KIV-700 Created Specifically for iPod/iPhone/USB Users!


 

 

KIV-700
The revolutionary KIV-700 is Kenwood's first in-car receiver designed specifically for iPod and USB media lovers. Having no CD mechanism included the user interface can be made to operate extremely intuitively for large capacity media libraries, where search systems are the number one priory. An extra bonus is the ability to display video from either iPod or USB devices.

iPod/iPhone Music and Video Playback
For quality playback of video or music stored in an iPod/iPhone. The supplied cable enables easy connection to the KIV-700 via a USB 2.0 Direct connection for full speed data transfer and also doubles as a battery charger for your iPod/iPhone. In addition, the KIV-700 can playback Video from USB and internal memory. Available formats are MPEG4, WMV, H.264.

  

Search Feature

Simply press the SEARCH MODE key to access a variety of search modes. Direct Search enables searching by entering the first three letters of the playlists, artists, albums, songs, podcasts, genres or composers, then turning the knob right/left to get a list of songs. It is also possible to search using Alphabet Search, Skip Search and Related Search functions. iPod Control by Hands Mode allows the user to control from the iPod itself rather than from the headunit.

 


3" TFT Full Colour Display
